Carsharing as active transport: What are the potential health benefits?

Not withstanding the limits inherent to the data, this review finds that all studies demonstrated that carsharing reduced vehicle ownership and/or changed travel behaviour. These changes have potential health benefits. More rigorous scientific research is required to determine the health benefits of carsharing membership. Evidence to date warrants a conceptualisation of active transport as extending beyond walking, cycling and the use of public transport in future explorations of related health benefits.
